Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

@buntingandstarcharts I'm doing OK thank you. I finally ovulated so my cycles have been pushed on a bit. We made sure we continued to try this month but really not expecting it to have happened this quickly so just waiting to get my next period out of the way. How are you girls doing? Xx

RobynC19 · 11/06/2018 15:27

@buntingandstarcharts actually got a peek on my clear blue fertility monitor this morning

RobynC19 · 11/06/2018 15:25

This is my very first cycle from coming off the pill cd 20 from my withdrawal bleed and stopped taking my pill 25 days ago :) here is to a speedy ttc journey, I'm 25 ttc baby 1

buntingandstarcharts · 11/06/2018 15:17

Good luck @RobynC19 what number cycle are you on?

buntingandstarcharts · 11/06/2018 15:16

Hey all, my period came, of course! I was more crazy last month, actual meltdown! Feels like it just won't happen! How are you @LG88 and @Hopefulbunny? What month are you on now? X

RobynC19 · 10/06/2018 18:38

I had a stretchy brown mucus on cd 17 lasting 2 hours if that and had one big cramp earlier in the day am I tricking my self in to hoping that was implantation bleeding. I'm now on day 19 and have been extremely tired and bloated not due AF till June 19th

Hopefulbunny · 10/06/2018 17:00

Hi Ladies, AF arrived for me so onto another cycle, How are you LG88, buntingandstarcharts have you had AF yet or are you in with a chance?
I hope you are all well.

RobynC19 · 07/06/2018 08:31

Starting my tww kind of fist month off the pill had a with draw bleed and 6 high fertility flashing faces on my clear blue ovulation test and some lines but never a positive on my opk tests so now I'm just waiting for AF don't think I ovulated which has made me worry that I'm going to be in for a long try all I'm hoping is AF comes soon ish so my body can get back to normal

LG88 · 07/06/2018 07:38

@buntingandstarcharts I know exactly what you mean, 6 months definitely felt like a milestone for me too. I was absolutely convinced it would have happened within the first 6 months. My biggest fear is that I will have to wait another 6 months for another BFP and then I will just lose it again. Sad on a more positive note though I finally got my positive ovulation test this morning! I'm so relieved as I was so worried that this was going to have thrown my cycles off completely and that I wouldnt ovulate at all. I was only about 2 or 3 days later than normal. When are your husbands tests booked in? It will be a weight off your minds if you know nothing is wrong. @Hopefulbunny when is af due for you? How are you feeling? Come on girls, we got this!! Bugger the statistics and everything else, we are individual and don't need to be told what is 'normal' for other people. We WILL have our babies!!! Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 06/06/2018 13:40

Omg why did that go all bold?

buntingandstarcharts · 06/06/2018 10:12

@Hopefulbunny when will you test? I'm sad because my period came. I'm not as crazy as I was last month, month 6 seemed like a milestone of negativity for me. Month 7 is less of a big deal and I know the stats are against me now.

@LG88 you poor poor thing, it sounds like things are horrible for you at the moment. I can't imagine the disappointment of getting a bfp and then your happiness being dashed so quickly. I totally get he swinging between happy and frustrated - it's an emotional rollercoaster that just goes on and on and on. I can't believe it's been so long, we've been so patient etc. My husband is going to have his sperm checked, I think he's worrying too now.

Lots of love girls. Keep positive and @LG88 keep us updated. I've lost all my positive mojo vibes 😪😪😢😢

LG88 · 05/06/2018 07:58

@Hopefulbunny cramps are not necessarily a bad thing. Loads of women get them as an early pregnancy sign weirdly. Don't give up yet. When is af due for you? I'm sick of the emotional roller-coaster to be honest. I bounce from feeling normal and reasonably happy to feeling so low and depressed. Also I don't think I have ovulated yet this month so wondering if I am even going to after the miscarriage. Sad TTC is just rubbish!!! Xx

Hopefulbunny · 04/06/2018 21:30

Buntingandstarcharts I'm here, do you definitely know AF is on the way?
Its good your blood tests were fine so you know you are ovulating so that reassuring. LG88 sorry to hear you are struggling hope things get better for you very soon and your okay.

Well I was had a positive feeling for this cycle well up until a few days okay when I have now started getting AF cramps, so think maybe Im out now.

LG88 · 04/06/2018 13:55

@buntingandstarcharts no I am here, just my phone won't always let me log on to this silly app!! Are you absolutely sure it's the start of your period? My pregnancy symptoms were pretty much identical to the start of my period apart from they were too early..? It's good news that you are ovulating normally. At least having everything checked will give you peace of mind. I have every sympathy with you. I am finding everything a struggle at the moment and not coping well. One day I think I am fine and feel normal again then the next I am angry or in floods of tears again. I haven't felt so low for a long time. When are your husbands tests organised for? Sending you big hugs and lots of love. Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 04/06/2018 11:01

@LG88 @Hopefulbunny you've disappeared 😪😪 my AF is coming. I'm sad 😢

buntingandstarcharts · 02/06/2018 12:12

@LG88 oh that's so hard. It's part excitement, part enviousness, part fear of people pitying you Confused how are you? My period is due on Wednesday, I have PMS so badly, like every month the week before AF. Boohoo. I wonder what will be different when I do eventually get pregnant? I had a blood test which showed I'm ovulating and my husband is going to have his sperm looked at. When will your cycle return to normal. Hope you're ok x

LG88 · 02/06/2018 11:41

@buntingandstarcharts I'm good, how are you feeling this month? Positive I hope. One of my best friends has announced this morning that she is pregnant which has made for mixed emotions for me. Obviously I am absolutely delighted for her though. How far are you into the dreaded 2ww? Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 02/06/2018 11:18

Girls how are you?

buntingandstarcharts · 30/05/2018 16:57

@LG88 I was wondering how you were. I'm so sorry your parents said some awful things! How could they at a time like this? I feel so awful for you. Has your husband been supportive? You've just moved too so you must feel so overwhelmed xxxx

LG88 · 30/05/2018 09:45

@buntingandstarcharts
@Hopefulbunny so sorry, the last few days have been so so hard for us. I had my scan yesterday and it looks like everything with the miscarriage has happened as it should. I have had a huge fall out with my parents who have been no support whatsoever and said some really really awful things to me. It has been one of the toughest weeks I have had and pretty lonely at times. I hope you are both doing well, I would like to see your BFP this month to make me feel better. Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 28/05/2018 19:39

@Hopefulbunny I totally agree! I don't want to lose my ttc friends. How are you and where are you in your cycle? I hope @LG88 is ok. X

Hopefulbunny · 28/05/2018 16:05

Hi ladies,

LG88, how are you, have you done anymore tests, I hope you are okay.

Buntingandstarcharts, how are things with you?

It would be nice to keep this thread going so we are able to support each other.

buntingandstarcharts · 26/05/2018 22:45

@LG88 how confusing! I don't even know what it could be or how to help you Sadare the pregnancy tests negative or positive? Could it still be all ok...? Have you been passing thin blood or thicker stringy (tmi question sorry). I hope you're ok, you poor thing. So confusing and horrible xxxxx

LG88 · 26/05/2018 12:08

@Hopefulbunny @buntingandstarcharts
I have no idea what is going on with me, I have not had anywhere near enough bleeding I don't think as I haven't even had the same amount as I would for a normal period. I could keep the same pad on all day (NOT that I would of course!!!) and not anywhere near fill it. And I have had no pain or cramps whatsoever, which I normally suffer with quite badly during my period. I am waiting to hear back from 111 who I spoke with last night because I have absolutely petrified myself that it could be eptopic, I can't think why else this would all be happening. I am so so scared about what is going on. Confused xx

Hopefulbunny · 25/05/2018 12:57

Hi ladies,

LG88, I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage I hope you are okay. Have you done anymore tests? When I had mine the tests got lighter
and then negative quite quickly. They do say they you are more fertile after a miscarriage. Thinking of you.
Buntingandstarcharts , I hope you are feeling better. I'm in
fw I think I ovulated earlier than usual not feeling very positive this cycle. I use fertility gel seems to be quite good sure its the same as pre seed.

We will get through this ladies and will have our BFPS :)
